In as a good a headpiece as yours, I warrant you that, for all your fine clothes, Sands, I think my penny as good silver as yours, every day i'th' week, I'll tell you but so. A Maid of eighteen, to play with babes-clouts, well, 'tis no matter, Let that pass though, go to, go to, 'tis an ill wind that blows nobody good, cry I, sure I rose o'th' right side today, I shall have a servant by and by, and a lusty Knave too, and here's the chincke, the chincke; as I was getting this rod even now, for my wise daughter, comes me Terpanders son, the angry boy, the smoker of Tobacco, the whoreson which could not endure his mother, Sdnds I was afraid at first to see myself alone with him, he did so stare with'is rolling eyes, and 'twas no force by'r Lady, for I had five good shillings in my purse; But he to put me out of doubt salutes me most lovingly, as thus, Stipes God save you, Save you Stipes— no, Stipes God save you— Stipes be hanged— a blockhead, Sdnds I doubt I should make but a scurvy Gentleman, I want the trick on't.— But let that pass though, I have the money here, and presently, my man will come, which Anteros will send me, whom, if I have not paid me every morning my forty brace of legs and caps— no more. Why so, I me fairly accoutred, as becomes a shepherd's servant— But swig for see my Master. Here must I quite disrobe myself of all my former manners, garb, behaviour, and put the plod o'th' Country on.— How now? What jolly whistler have we got here trow? Hi, hi, a dancer too? ay, ay, by'r Lady For ought I know, this is the man I spoke of, Or else if not, here's one could wish he were. A sturdy knave, a lusty proper knave. I like him well, he has a back for burdens. You Sirrah, you; What say you, you? I say whom do you seek here you? I seek a Shepherd you. I am a Shepherd. But I seek a Shepherd, whose name is Stipes. I am the man you knave, you come from Anteros? Yea. To serve me? Yea. In good time, how now saucy Jack? how now proud, prodigal knave? where are your twenty legs unto your Master? Go to, Go to, to work, begin, well said. Anteros makes legs. 1.2.3.4 5 6. So, so, enough, I do forgive the rest. Turn you about, umh, umh, a good squat fellow, a well quartered man, By'r Lady, and if he had but moans would make a pretty husband for my daughter Merda. Has he a daughter? and are there women here? uh uh uh— O I am fallen from heaven into a coal-pit! Why Merda, I say, my daughter Merda I say, the foolish girl's afraid I know, go to, go to, I will forgive her. Merda I say. But you Sir Squire o'th' o'th' dog, what is your name? high, which way look you? My name is Ieoffry.
